Her face was all pimply and red,

blue eyes were bright.

Her face is as sweet as . flower new

Her cheeks are like peaches and cream.

Her beauty attracts every eye,
And as for the people who called her a
fright,
"Why, Nellie is handsome" they cry.
And the reason OF the change is that Mel

her complexion. made her blood pure, her

PITrsBURG. Pa, April l2.-The wholesale ar
rests OF the employees OF the Pan Handle route fol
robbing freight trains continues to be the pr1nci
pal topic OF conversation among railroad men and
citizens generally. Superintendent TaylOr'S ofhce
was besieged from early morning by dozens OF
men who were in search OF employment. Many OF
them were given employment. The road Is now
fully equipped, and there Is no delay In the move
ment OF freight.
No arrests have been reported since last night.
It Is thought the officials OF the road are satisfied
with the work OF the detectives, and that no more
arrests will be made in this city. Speaking or the
probable conviction OF the men now in JAIL Special
Agent Rue said that OF the sixty men now
under arrest there were not more than one or
possibly two OF them who stood any chance OF being
shown not guilty. Said he: I've had our evidence
SO complete that We did not make an arrest until
We had sufficient proof to show that the man was
guilty. We expect to make eight or ten more
arrests OF men who worked the road successfully
for a time, and then, for fear OF detection, took
positions on other lines. This Will swell the total
number OF arrests TO sixty EIGHT or seventy"
DRAGGED FROM HIS DYING CHILD's BEDSIDE.
Mr.. Rue said the saddest case In connection with
the arrests was that OF man whose child was
dying. When the Officers knocked at the door OF
his home on Sunday night he was sitting with his
wife by the bedside OF his sick child. He ap-
peared to be a man OF more than ordinary INTEL
hgence, and his home had an air OF refinement
about it. When the Officers told him they had a
the disgrace into which he had fallen and broke
down completely.
The capture of j. r. Dunlap at Dennison, Ohio,
yesterday, particularly pleased the detectives
